Fast ResultsTheis Made Easy
provides theory and application for new and improved methods that
can be used to solve for transmissivity and the storage coefficient
using pump test data and the Theis equation - without the Theis
curve! Methods are provided that use pump test, recovery, and
specific capacity data. Promising new methods that solve for the
storage coefficient using observation well recovery data are also
included. Full page illustrations and easy to read tables are
utilized to greatly reduce the learning curve. The Theis Without
Graphs computer program is also provided, along with many data
sets that can be used to test these methods. The program also
provides a step-drawdown solution and the ability to model a pump
test. Theis Without Graphs is easy to use! It has been tested
by hydrogeology students and engineers, and provides an extensive
output.

--> The book and computer program are both user friendly.--> Theis time-drawdown can be solved without the Theis
curve, but this is "no black box". The Theis assumptions
can be verified without curve matching.--> Theis distance-drawdown can be easily solved using
3-sets of drawdowns.--> Storativity can be solved with a recovery method
that uses residual drawdown data from observation wells.--> Specific capacity solutions can be adjusted for
well efficiency, dewatering, and partial penetration.--> The transient limit of the cone of depression is
calculated.--> A step-drawdown solution is provided.--> A pump test can be modeled.--> Many data sets are provided, including a pump test
project.

"As President of a consulting firm, I am always concerned
with balancing costs and providing clients with complete and thorough
data evaluations. Dr. Kasenow's practical application techniques
have allowed my firm to complete thorough data evaluations at
lower costs. Once one uses Dr. Kasenow's data evaluation programs,
you are left with the feeling of 'why did I waste my time with
other programs?" --- Mark. B. Sweatman, CPG, President, Insight Environmental Services, Inc.
